Topic, Game "Moonlights"

  I made a level Daybreak (Moonlights), It's kinda rushed, I wanted to show the idea though, so even if it's not accepted, it might be a good concept to have a level on. 1 light is barely visible, you most likely will need to be watchfull when the light comes on. 2 is a bit easier, 3 is pretty obvious. The more lights you stack on, the easier they are to see. It also looks really cool. Multiple of them, like i have in there make it harder to know if you found one.

EDIT: Fun-fact, just noticed I made a level named daybreak after a level named sundown.

EDIT: Definatly one on each sun... cause you can look at the shadows. And if you make a multiplied big sun it's even harder.

  I don't reply to all candidates but I note all of you and I add some new testers from time to time. I usually add first the good level designers because good levels help to test the game and help me to imagine the direction where the game should go.

  Please may I be a teste-
Oh wait, I already am one.
(joke)

  i mean i don't have to be one but I am not going to die if don't but i just want to help

  Now there is a flood of testers

  count me in to for being a tester (if you need me)

  Can I be a tester please ?

  Can I also be a tester :)?

  So..can I also be a tester?

  Can i be a tester?

  Nice Thumbnail ;)

  Can you log out / log in ? (it was a bug).

  Uh... It says I'm a new member...

I joined in september.

And not only that, but I haven't uploaded any levels today.

  @gecko, could it be related to this problem Bad Ice (Moonlights) ? I uploaded a new version of the game, more robust, mayeb it has corrected the bug you are rporting. BNevertheless, I will try to reproduce it.

[edit] I also have strange things with the level saving, sometimes it doesn't save the socre...

  Glitch:
On Asteroids Avoider, I got to the moon, then slipped off just as all the lines turned white. They didn't explode like they should, but they were left glowing white, and I couldn't add any more to the tower. My score didn't save...

  I just added the implementation of the scores (based on your number of moves) and of the remaining nodes.
When you destroy nodes, you can use them elsewhere.

[edit]
Scrolling implemented.

  Wow, that's a nice introduction!!!

I have some good ideas for levels with a limited number of nodes, like one where you build a tower, and have to destroy it to win, and one where you have to crawl along the ground, deleting nodes as you go along...

You could also have options to make it so that
a: You can't beat the level if you are over the node limit, but you can still build your structure, you just have to get rid of nodes when you get to the end to win.

b: When you reach the node limit, you can't add any more nodes until you get rid of some nodes.

c: The same as B, but you can't delete nodes...

  @gecko, yep, it's not implemented yet, and I 'm not sure it is worth to do so yet.

  What does the 'Max Nodes' option do? is it the maximum number of dots on your structure? If so, it doesn't seem to work for me...

  Can't wait until i can play!

  I've found it really cool and I really love the click&drag to change the orb size (like captain_404 said) but when you take a thumbnail of the particles, they explose!

[edit jp : the thumbnail problem is corrected now]

  Very nice, the particles are a nice touch, it's all very peaceful. I must say, I really do love the more simplistic graphics, they're a nice departure from your usual style :)


I like the decision to go with a click&drag set up for changing the orb size rather than a number-based one. Perhaps there could even be a hotkey set to be used to change the size of a moon while placing it. (onMouseDown would place the moon, then if the key is down, it would alter the size until mouseUp) Perhaps the use a hotkey isn't even need for this, maybe if the user holds down the mouse instead of just clicking it could resize it.

Great job so far, can't wait to see this with sound and such!

  Yes you can add some levels. It needs some easy levels you're right.

  JP@ ok, i was thinking you have only to touch the moon

but i tested it on the level editor and i've remarked you have to stay on it a couple of seconde :D

Can we do some levels now or we have to wait a little?

  Wow!!! That's absolutely brilliant!
It really needs some easier levels for the beginning though, because the second level is very hard, and I was struggling a lot on the first. (I'll probably get used to it, but for a complete beginner it will be really hard)

  Really nice! but just for know, the first level is possible ?
[edit jp] thx, yes it is (lvl 2 now).

  Corbon Copy message for Moonlights first testings.

- The levels don't send score for now
- The scrolling area is not implemented in the game engine.
- The max nb of authorized nodes is not implemented netiher.
- I don't plan to add curves like in RT/HP/JG2. But why not later.
- I need to use a pseudo random method for the wind because in some cases it can ruin the level

The game is not ready yet that's why I didn't added all testers yet.
